Hi all, I am new to this forum - hope this is the right place! I would value some advice in choosing a new (from scratch) navigation set up suitable for n Albin Vega (27 ft) with long distance, single handed, cruising in mind.
I think I need the following:
VHF radio
SSB receiver
Radar
GPS
AIS
Navtex
...... and maybe other stuff?
I was hoping that some form of integrated (maybe pc based?) system is available for a lot of it? ie using one display for different inputs... I have only seen and used pretty antique stuff in the past and I am hoping a modern, low power consumption set up may be available.
Any guidance and advice much appreciated. Cost is an issue (as ever) but willing to spend a fair amount on a good system.
Even just the name of a good impartial supplier who will offer sound advice would be welcome.
The current equipment is antique and will be skipped!
